Basic breeding questions

How large should a Tegu be before being bred?
Should the male and female be kept together or just put together to breed?
Are there any special dietary needs an egging tegu has?
Do they retain sperm?
How long should the mother be gravid before dropping?
About how many eggs will the average clutch contain?
What temp should eggs be incubated at?
What medium is best for incubation?
About how long should they take to hatch?
About how long after hatching should they be fed?

I'm trying to remember the website that I've seen breeding info on...hmmm...I'll get back to you.
I know that they can breed at 18 months, but it typically takes them longer.
I also know that if you house outdoors breeding is a piece of cake, but indoors it is much more difficult.
My guys copulated like crazy last year (very interesting almost disturbing to watch--a little too human), my female made a nest of cypress mulch and soil, but never had eggs. Ron and Stella said that they were probably a little young, and sometimes it takes the female 3 years before she is really ready.
I would just use vermiculite and incubate in the 80s. As for housing together vs putting together, I'm not sure it matters.
I'll see what else I can find for you.
